2005.12.01 17:58 "getting bigtiff implemented", by James Carroll

Hello,  

I work in the microscopy field, where we will spend hours
scanning a microscopic slide and creating a large montage.  Later we can
use this TIFF for virtual micrsocopy.  We bump into the TIFF 4GB limit
every once in a while, and have to start the scan over with a smaller
area.  In the next year, we intend to add multiple focal planes to these
images, which will grow the files by a factor of 10 or 50 (or 300 in
some cases.)
 
We are currently looking for an individual who would be willing to
implement the big tiff spec that's outlined here:
http://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/bigtiff.html
 
The work would be funded by a grant that we are applying for.  What we
need for the grant application is a commitment from a developer who is
capable of doing the work, their hourly rate, and a very rough estimate
of how long the project would take them to complete.
 
Thanks,
-Jim Carroll
